No, I'm not the Bob in the name of this dessert, but I did see Paula Deen make it on the Food Network special All Star Holiday Gifts the other night, and I'm going to make it for Christmas this year. It looked so easy that for a second there I actually thought that she had forgotten a step in the process, but this is Paula Deen we're talking about, so let's get real.
1 envelope plain gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup heavy cream, and another 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, whipped
8 oz soft peppermint candy
Hard peppermint candy
chocolate cookie pie crust
Soften gelatin in water. In a saucepan, put a half cup of the heavy cream with the candy and heat over low heat til candy melts. Add gelatin and mix well. Let cool and fold in whipped heavy cream. Pour into chocolate pie crust, top with crushed hard candies, and chill.
It might be fun to experiment with different types of peppermint candy to see how it comes out, or use a different pie crust.
